International Society for Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect 2023 Congress

The 2023 ISPCAN Congress in Edinburgh Sept 23-27, 2023 will be held under the theme Advancements in Data and Solutions for Tackling Child Abuse.

Within the last decade, we have seen large advancements in child protection research, response and prevention – from an increase in our understanding of the prevalence of child abuse and neglect through national and multi-country population-based survey efforts to increased multi-sectoral responses and prevention efforts. We are also witnessing a generation of rapid technological changes, and child protection systems need to respond accordingly. We need data approaches that reflect the opportunities and challenges of our new hyper-digital world and ensure we safeguard children.
